Here are two states planning to loosen CON laws this year:
1. Beginning May 29, hospitals in Mississippi will be able to establish single-specialty ASCs without obtaining a certificate of need, which can be a difficult and lengthy process. Under the new rule, hospitals may establish single-specialty ASCs through the submission of an application for a determination of non-reviewability.
2. The North Carolina Senate has proposed its budget for the next two fiscal years, with a provision that would allow single-specialty ASCs to convert to multispecialty ASCs without going through a certificate of need process.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
